SOUPer Bowl Showdown: Terry's Quick Chicken & Smoked Sausage Gumbo

OK, I recently posted my version of Gumbo. Complex. Dark roux. Lots of stirring. Lots of patience. I wanted to create an Old World style Gumbo... one that takes most of the day to make and is full of flavor. Terry's quick gumbo recipe tastes pretty darn great and it is a heck of a lot easier than mine! So for those days when you want something hearty and delicious and want it fast, this is your recipe! (Note- I am a mushroom hater so I left those out) Thank you Terry!!

1/4 cup of flour
1 tsp salt
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup sliced okra
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced
4 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced thick
1 can diced tomatoes
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half – cubed
12 ounces smoked sausage, sliced about 1/2" thick
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
ground black pepper to taste
